Steve Jobs – Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American business magnate, industrial designer, investor, and media proprietor.
He was the chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and co-founder of Apple Inc., the chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar, a member of The Walt Disney Company’s board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar, and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
The tech mastermind dropped out of college, launched a business, got kicked out of it, and later rejoined when it was failing.
Each failure, however, brought Jobs one step closer to Apple’s success. The business, which may soon be valued at $1 trillion, has become an iconic brand and was listed as the world’s largest tech company, according to Forbes.
